The E-P5 was announced 5 years earlier than the GH5S and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-P5 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the E-P5 grades vs the GH5S when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Normally, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing specs. The visual underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-P5 and GH5S.

All in all, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Olympus E-P5 to render extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older E-P5 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
